Another player for Nebraska football earned a spot on an award watchlist for the 2024 season. Freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola was named to the Polynesian College Football Player of the Year Award Watchlist.

The award is presented annually to the most outstanding college football player of Polynesian ancestry, who epitomizes great ability and integrity. The Watch List comprises 96 players from 37 different FBS schools, and candidates are selected based on past performance and future potential.

Raiola enters his freshman season at Nebraska as one of the nation’s top high school quarterbacks in the class of 2024. In his high school career, he threw for nearly 8,500 yards, 88 touchdowns, and just 11 interceptions.

Raiola threw for 2,666 yards and 34 touchdowns his senior year, helping Buford (Ga.) High School to an 11-2 record. Dylan is the son of Dominic Raiola, who was a center at Nebraska from 1997 to 2000. Dominic was a first-team All-American and the Rimington Trophy winner as the nation’s top center.

The Polynesian Football Hall of Fame Selection Committee will choose the finalists and the winner. The five finalists for the award will be unveiled on December 3, and the winner will be announced on December 17.
